Buddy has one as a rental. Failed miserably on quality and worse, on mpg.

Not sure which one he drove - however I own the Optima Hybrid Premium - and adore it thus far. Sure, the MPG's aren't what they promise - however, in what car are they?

Note - that so far, my BEST consumption is getting 1,200 KM's to a tank with 2,000km's on the ODO (about 65 liters) - worst (thus far, when it's been -20 and using winter gas) is about 850 for the same # of liters with 10K on the ODO.
